Default Re: $11 - I hate JJ

It really depends on your reads and also the level you are playing at ($11s, $33, $55, etc). At a typical $11 Party SNG, I would probably just flat out push this hand preflop. Seeing as you are playing at Stars, and have more chips to start... I would still probably push this preflop. Folding JJ preflop is pretty weak, IMO.

You have lots of fold equity and are likely to pick up the blinds right there, which is t400 added to your stack. If UTG+1 is a SOLID player, he is not calling you with anything but premiums... QQ, KK, AA.


One other thought. The blinds are low enough right now to justify a cold call in your position. If you do this, you are playing the JJ for SET value only. If the flop comes undercards, play with caution. If Q, K, A, comes out.. well you are dumping this hand.
